CLEVELAND -- Residents in the eastern suburbs of Cleveland continue to experience discolored water as crews work to flush out the system.

The discoloration of the water is a result of manganese, a naturally occurring element in the lake.

The water is safe to drink and is not harmful if ingested.

There is no boil alert in effect.

Customers whose water still has a yellowish tint should refrain from doing laundry, especially of lighter-shaded clothes. 

The following suburbs are being impacted:

  • Beachwood
  • Bratenahl
  • Cleveland Heights
  • East Cleveland
  • Euclid
  • South Euclid
  • Gates Mills
  • Highland Heights
  • Lyndhurst
  • Mayfield
  • Mayfield Heights
  • Richmond Heights
  • Pepper Pike
  • Shaker Heights
  • University Heights
